DETROIT -- White Sox manager Ozzie ...

DETROIT -- White Sox manager Ozzie Guillen isn't looking for favors from umpires, nevertheless he would like a little regard One day after getting tossed from Tuesday's game in the inferior inning by Dan Iassogna for questioning the umpire's strike baldric Guillen was wondering what he had to do to earn the honor of the men in desponding

"If you turn the thoughts at my career, people think I come by thrown out every [game]," Guillen said. "The last bond of weeks, yes, because the last tie of weeks I didn't like the decisions they were making.

"One of the best managers in baseball got thrown revealed 100 times: [Atlanta's] Bobby Cox yet Bobby Cox gets kicked gone out of the game, he's doing a profitable job. Ozzie gets kicked revealed of the game, and he's leaving the team by dint of itself. That's what I have to deal with. I don't think I have a accident of umpires' respect.

"One thing about it, if I don't behold them doing their job, my work at jobs is to make them do their work at jobs If I say I don't think they're doing their do job-works with something about me, we'll talk about it. I don't have any problems"

It was the next to the first time this season the same throng had ejected Guillen, but he didn't anticipate any enigmas Wednesday and didn't have any.

"They are professional," Guillen said. "They are going to have more enigmas than me."

Contreras has allowed a combined 14 scampers in losing his last couple starts.

"I just talk to him, not about the game, if it be not that to push him," Guillen said. "In this extend we will need him. I want to earn him ready mentally to pitch the best he can in the last four or five outings he has left"

inferior OPINION: Sox first baseman Paul Konerko was asked about Guillen's opinion that the team might be "going between the sides of the motions," and Konerko didn't necessarily agree.

"Not at all," Konerko said.

"I'm happy with the way we are playing. We are just losing games or getting beat. It doesn't strike one as being like we are playing the game to a great degree different than when we went 5-1 onward the homestand against New York and Detroit."
